Question

18/5 ; 14/5 ; 18/8 ; 19/6
Q3. Find the difference between the greatest and smallest fractions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference :

5 . 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest fraction = 18 / 5

Smallest Fraction = 18 / 8

Difference = 18 / 5 - 18 / 8

= 234 / 40

= 117 / 20

= 5 . 85

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between the greatest and smallest fractions is 9/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find the difference between the greatest and smallest fractions.​

18/5 ; 14/5 ; 18/8 ; 19/6

First, find the greatest and smallest fractions

The LCM of 5, 6, and 8 is 120.

So, the fraction is

$\frac{18}{5} =\frac{18 \times 24 }{5 \times 24} =\frac{432}{120} \\\frac{14}{5} =\frac{14 \times 24 }{5 \times 24} =\frac{336}{120} \\\frac{18}{8} =\frac{18 \times 15 }{8 \times 15} =\frac{270}{120}\\\frac{19}{6} =\frac{19 \times 20 }{6 \times 20} =\frac{380}{120}$

Greatest fraction:18/5

Smallest fraction: 18/8

The difference between the greatest and smallest fractions $\frac{18}{5} -\frac{18}{8} =\frac{432}{120} -\frac{270}{120} \\= \frac{432 -270}{120} \\= 162/120\\=\frac{81}{60} \\= \frac{27}{30} \\=\frac{9}{10}$
